They weren't 5 years ago.

Seeing their pictures over and over again just reminds me of how much they've changed. :( I miss The World and I band.

Hah I honestly just didn't know. The model shots spread throughout the video make me think yes.

This is an older song, probably one of the best unsigned bands doing it back then. I dunno why they had to go all disney pop.

joe brings up a good point by pulling up this older song and seeing how the whole idea of action item from 2009 to now doesnt add up at all. which is why FT is changing our name and taking a similar direction musically. look at it as being less of a boy band and more of just a better product, that winds up looking like a boy band a little.. unfortunately an EP of songs based off guitar distortion doesnt pay the bills.. if you dont believe me go pull up old floral terrace soundscans from 2008-2009.. theres not enough support.. its not punk enough for this websites listeners and its not polished enough for allstar weekend fans so bands like ours needed to make a choice, either call our band "rise or die trying" and cowrite with tom denny or polish our fuckin band..

Why do you need to make a choice? Write what you want to write; if it has legs it'll find a way to pay your bills and more. We're all poor doing this but once you sacrifice how or what you write for the sake of anyone else, or if you get to the point where your music to you is a "product", then you've already sold out before you've sold anything.

This band is pathetic. They are like 25 and trying to be what the Jonas Brothers were when they were 15. I just can't imagine how creepy that must feel.

Musically and lyrically, I enjoy these guys a lot--old and new.

Also, I heard that Daniel Lancaster was in this band...is that true? Just checking what I heard...

This. Proud of them for their success but they were all talented. Especially Mark Shami. Off Broadway remains one of my favorite bands.

Good enough reasoning as any. I mean if music is a source of income for you, then you gotta work with the market. Props for being honest man.

Agreed. Forever bitter that Off Broadway is no longer a band.

This single isn't as bad as the last, but I'm still not into their music anymore. But with that said, I'm still incredibly happy for all of them and glad to see their fanbase growing.
